Picking Suh was a no-brainer, even for the Lions. The guy is an absolute beast. He'll make the entire defense better. Even WHEN the other team double-teams him, other guys will be unblocked to make the plays. He also sounds like a great person too. I'd be extremely surprised if you ever see him named in a police report. And I think he IS the real deal and won't be a disappointment like many previous high-pick D-linemen.
